dosbox and kings quest VI-cant get it to work ><
I have the cdrom version of kings quest 6, and i cant seem to get the game to play from cd using dosbox(even using the moutn d d -tcdrom)
When i mount the cd drive(being d) i try and install but it gives me an error after i choose to save config and install. Does anyone know how to play this game from cd through dosbox?(so i can hear the voices etc, currently only get some sound/odd honking noise sound glitch and the large icons versus the little ones @.x) |

sorry, i've never really used VDM for anything. i've always managed to get things to work in dosbox or win98. if i can find my kq6 disc i'll see if i can get it working in XP and will PM you when/if i do.
